Alpha Arenal

Fortuna

At the hostel, the rooms come with a balcony with a city view. Every room comes with a coffee machine, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while some rooms here will provide you with a terrace and some have pool views. All units include bed linen. The owner was marvelous. He gave lots of great recommendations for several activities and does not want to sell tours like lots of others. Just perfect!!! This made our trip perfect and I highly recommend the hostel for everyone who goes to La Fortuna. The rooms were clean and we had a nice balkony to sit outside. It is a great hostel to get to know others.
